The Paolo's remain one of the funniest teams ever.

For the rest it was an interesting experiment. Not my fave, but DEFINITELY not hated.

--- End quote ---

The Weavers are such characters. At times they were villains, at times they were the most sympathetic people. The Race was definitely twisted in having them do TWO racetrack tasks (Talladega and then go-karts in Arizona). Not to mention the insane moment in the premiere when Mama Weaver was almost run over by the Amish buggy. Well, it did run over her, she was just very lucky.

G.B.:
It's a much more appealing season to Non-American viewers such as myself, I think

dryedmangoez:
Yes, the same for me watching TARPH, TAR Vietnam and (the earlier seasons of ) TAR Canada.

theschnauzers:
The Family Edition primary use was as a template for most of the various editions of TAR outside of the US, and fortunately none of those followed the use of casting children under 18 or teams of four.
